The TIMKEN MS series lock washer is a fastening element that is mounted on the shaft and locks the adjustment nut so it does not loosen due to vibration or rotation. It is used in bearing assemblies, especially in precision nut mountings, where the axial position must be secured. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and quotes it via WhatsApp with the exact code.

The MS series designation is read by the number that follows the letters: in MS30/500 and MS31/500 the suffix after the slash indicates the assembly size, while in MS3044, MS3048, MS3052, MS3056, MS3060 and MS3064 the full number identifies each washer size. To choose the correct one, you must cross-reference that code with the diameter and type of nut in the assembly; if you have doubts, send us the code and the assembly where it is mounted.

These washers are used in equipment where the bearing works under load and vibration: conveyor belts, mills, pumps, gearboxes, road and agricultural machinery, and in general on any shaft with a spherical roller bearing that needs reliable axial fastening. In the Argentine market they are frequently requested for maintenance in cement, food and aggregate plants, where bearing replacement requires leaving the nut locked in position again.

To select the washer, you must respect the nut-washer combination of the assembly: the inner tab must enter the shaft groove and the outer tab must be bent over one face of the nut. Verify that the seat is clean and free of burrs, and that the tab has not been fatigued in a previous mounting. Lubrication of the assembly and alignment of the bearing also influence whether the fastening works without lateral stresses.

Lock washers are interchanged between manufacturers by equivalence of dimensions and nut type, not by the commercial code: the same size may appear with different nomenclatures depending on the brand. What matters is keeping the original combination of the equipment or replacing it with one of equal geometry. If you cannot find the reference, write to us on WhatsApp with the code or model you need and we will indicate the compatible alternative.

MR Accesorios Industriales sells the TIMKEN line of lock washers and the rest of the bearing fastening components. Send us via WhatsApp the MS code that appears on the drawing or on the nut and we will quote it promptly.
